Hello everybody! New story yay! I've been wanting to do this story for a long time and I decided to put up the first chapter today. Ok so as said in the summary, this story is going to be a parody of the 1939 film, "The Wizard of Oz".
Note: This story takes place right after "You Posted What?" while the lab rats are still at home and not at the bionic academy, but Douglas's dog Otis is in this story because I needed a dog. So we're going to pretend that the lab rats knew Otis before they got to the academy :) Hope you enjoy!
Remember: I don't own lab rats or the Wizard of Oz.
"I'm back with dinner!" Mr. Davenport shouts as he comes walking in through the front door. In his hands are two big bags of Chinese food that we had ordered a while ago.
"It's about time you got here" Bree replied, "I was starting to think that you had eaten all the food by yourself and you were embarrassed to come home."
Mr. Davenport frowned.
"Come put it on the dinner table honey" Tasha said.
"Do I have to eat tonight?" I ask. We have had Chinese food for dinner three times this week! I'm starting to get sick of it. I hate Chinese food, but of course everyone in my family has to love it.
"Come on Chase" Adam says to me, "Chinese food isn't that bad. What are you a Martian?"
"No I'm not a Martian. I just don't appreciate how I never get the kind of food I want to eat for dinner."
"We voted on it and Chinese food won" Leo informed me.
"Voting's not fair because every time we vote everybody except for me picks Chinese food!"
"Ok fine" Davenport said, "Next time we go out to eat we'll draw sticks." He placed the food down on the table, "Now everyone shut it and dig in!"
Everyone grabbed a plate and filled their plates with chicken and rice. After we had started to chow down, Douglas walked through the front door with Otis in his arms.
"Oh hello" Tasha says as she waves.
"Hey everyone" Douglas replies, "We're back from Otis's checkup. He's perfectly healthy." He then set Otis down on the floor. Otis immediately ran over to Adam.
"Hey buddy" Adam said to the dog as he squatted down on the floor and began to rub Otis's belly.
"Adam" I say, "Don't pet Otis now. You're eating. You don't know where Otis has been. You're going to have to wash your hands again."
"Who said I had washed my hands before I had started eating?"
I roll my eyes.
"Chill" Bree tells me, "You're acting like Otis is a germ. Just because you seem to be allergic to him doesn't mean you have to be mean to him."
Otis runs over to me and starts to lick my shoe.
"Otis go back over to Adam" I say, "Otis-" I then start to have a sneeze attack. Luckily I didn't glitch and I didn't have a snot cannon explode from my body.
"Sorry Chase" Douglas says as he scoops Otis up off the floor, "Otis just gets excited every time he sees you guys." He then puts Otis on the couch.
"Come join us Douglas" Tasha says leading him to a seat, "We're having Chinese food."
"Ooh I love Chinese food" Douglas cheers as he begins to stuff his mouth with rice.
The doorbell then rings.
"Now who could that be?" Davenport questioned, "Chase go get the door."
"Why do I have to go get it?" I replied, "Bree's closer to the door."
"Because I'm not the one complaining about having Chinese food for dinner" she replied with a smirk on her face.
I groan as I walk over to the door and open it. Standing before me is Principal Perry. "Principal Perry what are you doing here?"
"I was bored at my house so I decided to come to your place" she replied, "You guys always seem to have something crazy going on here." She pushes me aside and starts to walk towards the rest of the family.
"Oh great" Leo says, "It's Perry."
Otis leaps off the couch and runs over to Perry. Perry gasped.
"You guys have a dog now?!" she exclaims.
"Actually he's mine" Douglas replies.
"Dougie. As much as I love you, I hate dogs, so when we get married you're going to have to get rid of it!"
"Why?"
"Because dogs are mean to cats!"
"Otis isn't mean to cats!" Adam cried.
"Oh yeah?" Perry replied. She then pulled a little plush toy cat out of her pocket and threw it down on the floor.
Otis growled as he immediately attacked the toy and bite down hard on it. Soon, stuffing came flying out of the plush cat.
"Otis" Douglas replied as he ran over to his pet, "Bad dog. Bad dog!" He grabbed the toy away from Otis and gave it back to Perry. "Sorry about that. He usually doesn't do things like that."
"Sure" Perry said as she glared at Otis, "I'm leaving. I can't be in the same room with a cat hater!" She started to walk to the front door, "Be aware Dougie. When we get married someday, the first thing I'm doing once we've moved in together is taking that dog to the pound!" She leaves as she slams the door behind her.
"No!" Adam cried as he ran over to Otis and hugged him, "Douglas promise me once you and Perry get married, you won't let her take him to the pound!"
"Adam" I say annoyed, "Douglas isn't going to marry Perry and that means she won't take Otis to the pound!"
"Oh." He walks back over to his seat and starts eating again.
"Oh no" Douglas whines as he examines Otis, "I forgot Otis's dog collar back at the vet."
"No problem" Mr. Davenport said, "Chase can go back to the vet's and get his collar back."
"What?" I say, "Why me? Otis isn't even my dog!"
"It's not like you're busy eating like the rest of us" Leo starts, "And besides, you're closer to the front door than the rest of us are."
"And we were going to kind of eat your food while you were gone" Bree 'whispered'.
"It would mean a lot to me" Douglas said to me with a smile.
"Fine!" I huff, "I'll go, but I'm sick of getting treated unfairly around here!" I start to walk to the door, "Come on Otis!"
Otis walks by my side as we exit the house. I unlock my car door and let Otis hop in the back seat. I then slam the door shut and hop into the driver's seat.
"Wait!"
I look up to see Adam running out of the house, "You forgot your fortune cookie!" He hands it to me.
"Thanks I am so glad you saved this cookie for me" I say sarcastically.
"Aren't you going to open it?"
"Um no."
"Well you should."
"Fine." I break the cookie in half and read the paper message inside.
"What does it say?"
"It says, 'Soon you'll encounter a magical land'. What the heck is that supposed to mean?"
"Maybe the vet is a magical place-"
I glare at Adam. "Really?"
He shrugs. "Well I'm going back inside. See you when you get back." He runs back into the house.
"Well" I say, "That was a total waste of my time." I throw the paper message back into the back seat. "Come on Otis let's get out of here." I back out of the driveway and drive to the vet.
After I go get Otis's collar from inside, I start to drive back to the house.
"Next time you go to the vet" I say to Otis, who is still in the back seat, "Please remember your collar."
Otis barks. I assume he understood me and that bark represented an 'Ok, I understand you.' I look up at the sky. The sky looks weird. It's kind of a dark, grayish color. Plus, it's really windy outside.
"Man the sky looks really weird tonight huh Otis?" I say.
He barks again.
"Maybe I should turn on the radio to see if a storm's coming." I flick on the radio and tune in to the news radio.
"Listen folks" the announcer says, "We are under a tornado warning. I repeat a tornado warning. A tornado has just dropped not too far from here. Take shelter now!" A tornado? In California? That's odd. We never get tornado's here. "I repeat. Take shelter now!" I pick up speed. I have to get home and fast.
I hear Otis whining in the back.
"Don't worry Otis" I assure him, "We'll be ok." I then look in the rear view mirror to see a tornado behind us. It looks to be far away, but I read that it doesn't take long for tornados to travel. "Or at least I hope we'll be ok." Where'd that tornado come from? It wasn't there twenty minutes ago. I hope everyone at home is ok. Maybe I should call them. I feel around my pants pockets for my phone, but I don't feel it. Man, I must have forgotten my phone at the house. This isn't good.
By the time we reach the house it is really windy. I can barely get out of the car without hanging onto the rear view mirror for support. I open the car's backseat door and scoop Otis into my arms.
"Come on Otis" I say, "We have to get inside!" I let go of the car and make my way to the front door. I almost didn't make it; it's so windy I almost flew backwards. When we make it into the house, I don't see anybody. "Everyone must have gone down to the lab for safety, come on!" I sprint over to the elevator. I try to push the elevator button, but it's not working. "Oh no! The power must be out! We can't get down to the lab." Thanks for going down to the lab without me family. I really feel the love. Otis whines again. I put him down.
"There must be some other way to get down to the lab" I reply. I start to bang on the elevator door as hard as I can with my fists, "Hello? Tasha? Davenport? Douglas? Help! We're trapped up here!" I get no answer. Oh it's no use. They couldn't possibly hear me. I can barely hear myself. It sounds like a train is right outside of the house. I run back towards the kitchen. Otis follows me. "Ok I guess we're just going to have to take cover in the closet then!"
Furniture starts flying out from everywhere. Oh man, the tornado must be really close! I pick up Otis and start to run towards the closet. Once I get there, I open the closet door. Otis leaps out of my hands and gets inside. I was about to get into the closet too, when I forgot that I needed to get my phone. I needed my phone is case Davenport tried to call me. I sprint over to the coffee table and swipe my phone up from it. I hear Otis barking from inside the closet.
"I'm coming Otis" I say as I begin to sprint over to the closet. I then freeze in shock as I see the windows shatter in front of me from the pressure of the wind. I then see something coming towards me from the right thanks to my peripheral vision. I turn to see Tasha's huge flower pot flying right towards me. Before I have time to react the pot hits me smack dab in the head and I black out.
